Facebook, Messenger and Instagram break down

(QNN) – Thousands of Facebook, Messenger and Instagram users have found themselves unable to refresh their feeds or log in to their accounts due to what appears to be a crash in the social media platforms.

The issues and break downs have started since around noon (ET). Hundreds of people have taken to Twitter to share the news and express their frustration.

Facebook since then has been alerting users to ongoing “maintenance,” though it appears to be unscheduled.
